Post by: Nikawe on May 05, 2021, 02:57:44 AM
Crypto wallet provider MetaMask has alerted its users of a new phishing bot that attempts to steal their seed phrases.

In a tweet published Monday, May 3, MetaMask warned users that the bot attempts to direct users to a purported “instant support” portal where they are prompted to enter information into a Google Docs form.

PHISHING ALERT!: a new type of phishing bot is becoming active.
Comes from an account that looks “normal” (but few followers)
Helpfully suggests filling out a support form on a major site like Google sheets (hard to block).
Asks for your secret recovery phrase. pic.twitter.com/EeHumnmzbE
